Every year Lego gives us a huge multi-thousand piece Star Wars model, like the 5,195-brick Millennium Falcon or the 3,800-brick Death Star. Now it's the turn for an all-time favorite of mine: The 2,504-piece Lambda-Class Imperial Shuttle.

10. The Amazing LEGO Factory Builds By Itself Just Fine, Thank You
